Scotland captain Darren Fletcher had his head bandaged up in his side's World Cup qualifying match against Slovakia after sustaining a nasty injury to his ear.

The Scots secured a 1-0 victory courtesy of Martin Skrtel's 89th-minute own goal at Hampden Park, and it was the former Liverpool central defender's clash with Fletcher that saw blood pour from the ex-Manchester United midfielder's ear as old rivalries were renewed.

There was so much blood that the 33-year-old questioned whether his ear was hanging off.
